What is your success rate with such white spread congestion and polyps in the USA? I first started getting nasal poylps at age 15 years (29 almost now) & have had four operations to remove them, which fill all sinus cavities (behind the cheeks and such). Mine always come back within a month or so of removal, it's painful, causes lots of headaches, pressure, dizziness..etc And there just seems to be no solution! Is there any research being done in this area?

@BTJMO nasal polyps can recur despite good surgery. You need to see the allergist, be maintained on topical irrigating steroid sprays and re-evluation by an experienced sinus surgeon

I had this done in March 2011 and here it's jan 2012 all came back . Due to crappy insurance will not be having this done again

@Shiftyg71 Sorry to hear this but this is sometimes not uncommon. Discuss with your doctor topical irrigating solutions with antibiotics, steroids (mematosone) and /or anti-fungal agents. A relapse doesn't mean you need surgery again.

I had all this done a year ago and now it came back and i have to get it all done again .Oh btw this is very painful not to mention all the blood clots that are huge that come out of your nose for a week after !

[NoseMD]

@americanwarrior100 Every case is different and there are surgical preferences. You must have had extremely bad sinus infections and bad anatomical obstructions. This surgery should not be painful unless packing is required. Since I rarely pack noses and using balloons to open blocked sinuses there is little pain not controlled by codeine overnight.

@BTJMO 29 years old, I mean. And just to confirm, I'm from the UK.

Can these polyps cause me to have mild monocular double vision? I had an MRI that shows them, particularly on the left side and I have had the vision problem progressively getting worse. I also have a minor deviated septum and trouble breathing through my nose. I also live in an area that has limited access to ENT physicians, so I may have to travel for treatment. Will I be able to fly after this?

It makes me feel better seeing someone else get gunk removed... I am weird like that. Same with cyst videos, >_>

[Shiftyg71]

@rickster277 I'll do it again someday , I think it's just the work environment I work in that caused it to come back , when I find a diff job then I'll do it again

[rickster277]

@Shiftyg71 i feel yr pain!! I had it done AND it came back again.

My ENT doctor says I have sinus polyps but it's more of a skin layer rather than a growth. I also don't have mucus buildup in the sinuses according to my ct scans. Can that layer cause daily strong facial pain and eye strain? I also have bad allergies and chronic sinusitis. I plan to do the balloon.

I had this surgery once already and felt no pain, unfortunately, I need the surgery again. I've been on flonase as well as Colloidal Silver, but I guess that doesn't matter =( Don't know when I will get to see a doctor again. How much does this cost out of pocket? I had insurance before.
